sekushiiandee Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 even if corpus take over kappa again...there is no guarantee that will bring back the precious oxium farming node there has been a global decrease in oxium osprey spawn rates...so its not just because there are less areas to farm them....but the fact that there are less mobs to farm in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquirmyBurrito Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Pls I just want to farm oxinum. Have you tried Cerberus, Pluto? I got 31 from 4 waves there, no idea if that is good since I never use oxium anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egregiousRac Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I really pity anyone who needs to research and build Zephyr without Kappa. Nothing else came very close to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erusa Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Have you tried Cerberus, Pluto? I got 31 from 4 waves there, no idea if that is good since I never use oxium anymore. Damn I got beat, but I'll just attest to that. Cerberus seems to be a pretty okay high-risk affinity farm too (for Syndicates as well) so some people who aren't into extremely long Void runs would be at ease here (also tis a good place for T4 keys, I keep getting them on Round 4). There should be almost 10+ Ospreys every round depending how long it takes you people to clear a round and how fast you people clear mobs..Just pack a Loot Radar...maybe..

SgtFlex Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Does anyone know if they drop in large amounts from the new cache's at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I've been using it for forma'ing and rep farming lately. Pretty easy mission too if you're team is half-way decent. Wouldn't recommend solo'ing unless you're okay with having to run back and forth across such a large map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgax Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) I really pity anyone who needs to research and build Zephyr without Kappa. Nothing else came very close to it. True, but there something new and just as sinister, Halikar. 500 oxium and top that with 2 argons, As annoying as it could get .

TankHunter678 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Does anyone know if they drop in large amounts from the new cache's at all? They can drop in packs of 25 from loot caches. I have also been noticing an increase in the amount of oxium from canisters. Though that may just be that ever since I equipped Thief's Wit (loot radar) I have been smashing every canister on my map.

I can confirm this, Pluto - Cerberus spawns a lot of them as well gives nice affinity + syndicate points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdart Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I had over 1500 oxium, after I made Zephyr, because of the gate crash event. I spent 4 days at least, running those caches nonstop. Was good stuff. Halikar was worth the 500. Disarming heavy gunners, fast puncture weapon (finally jesus christ de keep it up with the puncture melee for a while please), decent but pretty air dash, and it's a fantastic copter weapon, 1.5 attack speed. May be one of my new melees I will never get rid of. Zephyr however, was completely not worth the 600 oxium she requires imo from a team player standpoint, but now that Archwing exists, here tankiness is sorta okay for it. Just barely. I still think Zephyr/Frost are the only two frames worth using on Archwing. Zephyr is faster than Frost by a mile, but Frost has armor for days ontop of high shields/hp and archwing armor/shields. If you die as a kitted out Frost in an archwing mission, I pray every enemy was after you at the time while you were also being shot by the giant space laser.

Renegade343 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Well, you do know that something has gone bottoms up with the resources, when players ask for an Invasion just to have their resource saving grace spot. Then again, could we actually have Oxium rewarded from Excavation Missions in Eris (i.e.: Make a new node that is Corpus controlled [a very far away asteroid in which the Oxium is rediscovered]) after an Excavator finished digging? Or maybe on Mars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 3 to 5 per drill. 10 is too much. You can still find 25 oxium in the derelict sabotage caches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random286 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 U15 added 300 oxium as a potential reward from alerts i did one the other day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade343 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Maybe 3 to 5 per drill. 10 is too much. You can still find 25 oxium in the derelict sabotage caches. The Derelict Sabotage cache rewards are run by an RNG program (and I think a weighted one too), so that is not really reliable. 10 is too much? I mean, with the items we have needing Oxium, 10 is actually pretty fine (and did I mention that I would prefer to just have that rewarded on Eris Excavation Missions [where the Corpus are pretty strong if left unattended]?). If we really were to decrease it, 8 would be the limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erusa Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 When a resource is plentiful, you need it in small amounts (hi Nano Spores)When a resource is scarce, we need it in high amounts (hi Oxium)....Something like that...Very few resources break the mold here...

Renegade343 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 3 to 5 like I said. I would go with 8. Given how little the Ospreys spawn (and drop Oxium anyways), having 3 to 5 makes it feel a bit too tedious. 8 would be a nice balance between having fun in an Excavation Mission and feeling like one is progressing.
